Your brake setup?

[leon_luxton]

What brake setup are you all riding and how do you like it?
I am currently brakeless because i sold my brake setup to a friend who will get better use from it as he is starting to learn squekers.
I dout i will be going back to brakes for a while as the bike feels so much smoother without brakes and clean.I can still do all my old tricks without breaks so really its no lose(?spell?).
The brake setup i was running before i went breakless was sick though,so strong and great breaking reaction.I highly recomend using this setup if you are looking to get some new brakes.Th esetup was odyssey slic kable,odyssey evlover brake and tech77,i loved it.
How do you like your setups?
Any1 running the fly bikes brakes for flat?
brakeless?front break only?both?just back?
Any body currently have dual fronts,thinking of having dual fronts? already had dual fronts? How was they?

i want to have dual fronts but pretty soon, im going back to front and gyro
as for my brake setup its:
front tektro fx-20
odyssey 2by4 pads
lee-tech lever (from my shop, pulls very nice)
regular cable

i doubt anyone runs the fly brake because i think that is designed for more street abuse rather then just feathering the brake
also im soon to get:
front hombres
dekka pads
ody cable (i think)
tektro lever

i have a front brake but i dont use it all too much so il prob take it off when i get my bike sprayed....ares choice they found out was out of stock so i ent gettin the frame....brakeless is so much smoother for flat

whats dual front brakes?

[FlatlandWoody]

i'm pretty sure both of the brake levers control the front brake. i may be wrong though....

[Korey]

two single cables coming from the lever to the gyro, then the gyro to a gyro cable(one of the ones withthat splitter thing) is what he means im pretty sure

i ride with frontbrake. ive tried brakeless but it seems kinda impossible. when you try squeakers you just flip over all the time.

Best setup ever and so powerful

Dual Fronts^^

[Dakwota]

does that mean you can brake on one side of the rims?
Is tht on purpose?
Also whats the advantage of dual levers for one brake? Mean you need two hand to brake.

No you dont have to pull both levers at the same time to brake,you can just pull one and it brakes.
Advantages is that what ever way you have your bars during tricks or when u are movering around you bike in varuouse flatland tricks...you will always have a brake no matter what way the bars are around and which way you are facing,basically you will always have a brake to use whatever side of bike you are on.

[TuNichtGut]
